Does Velashape really work?
By Leah Mofford, Medical Aesthetician
Everyone’s favorite time of year is rolling back around. We all want to be in tip top shape to throw on our swimsuits and hit the beach or pool. But there is always the dreaded question…. Am I swimsuit ready? Does my stomach poke out over my two piece or what about this awful cellulite? Enter…. Velashape. Velashape sounds like a little miracle sent down from the beach body gods. What? Get rid of my cellulite by just laying down for an hour? How could this be true? Does it really work?
This is a question that as a practitioner I am asked regularly. What is my answer? YES! Velashape really does work. There are a few BUT’s though (no pun intended). We will get to that in a few. First let’s discuss what Velashape is and how it works. Velashape is an FDA approved device for the reduction of the appearance of cellulite. How the device works is it uses radiofrequency waves, infrared light, and lymphatic suction to smooth the appearance of cellulite, while also tightening the skin and shrinking fat cells. So what that basically means is that in the areas treated, most commonly thighs, buttocks and stomach, your skin will appear smoother and more toned.
Intrigued yet? I sure was. A little skeptical? Yup, same here. With all of the devices out there that claim to shrink, tighten and fix, how can you navigate which ones actually work and which just miss the mark? I can say this; the reason I know that Velashape works is because I do it myself. I used to be the person that could never wear shorts or white pants because my cellulite would show through. I was extremely self conscious. Well I started working out a little and using Velashape weekly last spring and by the beginning of the summer it was amazing. I wasn’t perfect, my legs did not look like Cindy Crawford’s but I felt pretty darn comfortable in a pair of shorts and that was enough to make me a believer.
Now for the real talk… Velashape is not a miracle. It will not take your size 10 legs and make them a 2. It will not make your legs runway ready if you stay home eating bon bon’s, never exercise and just spend one hour a week with Velashape. BUT if you live a relatively healthy lifestyle, spend a little time in the gym and a little time with the Velashape, I can almost guarantee you that you will feel like the money you spent was worth it. That you will feel more comfortable at the family BBQ in your shorts and to me, that is a great feeling.
Are you feeling ready? Is this summer going to be the summer that you’re ready to put those shorts back on? Come on in for a consult, we would be happy to give you our HONEST opinion.
